I have a Pinarello FP1 2010 which came with MOst tyres (I believe that is Pinarello's own brand?). These are now due for replacement since they are worn and full of litle holes. The question is: which tyres would you recommend? I need 700*23c tyres, 4-season for road rides, commuting and the occasional triathlon thrown in for good measure. I have looked around at reviews on the net but there is a confusing array of tyres available. My budget would be up to ~£30 per tyre. If it helps, I get a good discount at Wiggle so if it could be rounded down to within their range that would also help :)

Many thanks,

John.

    Well I've also asked a few friends and they concur on the Contis. Despite the confusing plethora available on the market you'd think these are the only ones worth considering at all. So, unless someon can can tell me that they have a habit of unexpectedly exploding or something, I'm off to order a set...

    Thanks for the advice.

    I too have the Conti 4 seasons, and they have lasted 2 1/2 years so far, but I suggest you do a search on here for similar threads and you'll see many different tyres reccommended.

    :? So not quite as clear cut as first thought. I will have a look around and try and make up my mind.

    Thanks.

    I like Michelin Pro 3 Grip for winter and wet and they work a treat in the dry too. Used to use Conti 4 seasons but I find that they feel a bit sluggish compared to the Michelins.
